Do Jehovah's Witnesses beleive in Adam and Eve as real people and not just a parable?

Question

I'm just wondering because it is my understanding that JW's use The Bible as the basis for their faith.

Answer 1

they believe what to believe by whoever is in charge of the watchtower,they do not know Christ.

Answer 2

I oftentimes do not study the replies until eventually when I've responded, in order that i'm not biased by using agreeing or disagreeing with all of us. I purely use what i have discovered and my personal good judgment. Nowhere contained in the scriptures does it say that Adam and Eve were forgiven. As Jehovah's Witnesses, we are taught that, because Adam and Eve were perfect, their sin changed into planned... they knew more desirable. After having sinned and being removed from the backyard, their imperfect offspring could be those that required a blood sacrifice. With this short, logical understanding, it truly is common to determine that Adam and Eve weren't forgiven, and is not resurrected. Jehovah God has already judged their habit at the same time as in the international. an astounding question... thanks for asking!

Answer 3

A better question is, Did Jesus believe Adam and Eve were real people?

Matt 19:4 In reply he said: “Did YOU not read that he who created them from [the] beginning made them male and female 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh’? 6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together let no man put apart.”

If you believe in Jesus you have to believe that Adam and Eve were real people.

Answer 4

Yes we beleive Adam and Eve were real people. And yes we do use the Bible as basis for our faith. Here is a good article about who we are and what we believe. http://watchtower.org/e/jt/index.htm

Answer 5

Yes, we do. If you believe in Jesus, you have to believe in Adam. Jesus was called the Last Adam. (1 Cor. 15: 45) If you look at Jesus lineage, Adam is listed as his forefather.
(Luke 3:23-38)

If Adam did not really exist, there would have been no need for Jesus to buyback what Adam lost with his death.

Answer 6

Hello. I am a active Jehovah's Witness and we do believe that Adam and Eve were real.
They are our first parents and we all descended from them.

That's why when they sinned we inherited sin from them.

Through one man sin and death entered into the world.

Answer 7

As a former JW I can tell you that yes, they do believe in the literal Adam and Eve. Why do you think we have sin today? They were the original sinners.

Answer 8

We use the whole Bible for everything. Adam and Eve were our first parents.

Answer 9

Yes we use it as the basis, and yes we recognise Adam and Eve as the first humans.
